The correct answer is A) Stated that taking away slaves was like taking away property.

In this Supreme Court case, Dred Scott argued that he was a free man since his master took him into a free territory. However, the court ruled that slaves are not human, meaning they do not have any legal rights. Along with this, the Supreme Court rule also discussed how slaves were property and that the government did not have the right to take away a person's property.

Answer:

A) Stated that taking away slaves was like taking away property.
